What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Chalice?
Benjamin Moore Golden Chalice 2151-20 is a medium-depth golden ochre with a softened brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its warm yellow base can read more honeyed in afternoon sun, while lower or cooler light brings forward its earthy, slightly muted side. Golden Chalice has enough weight for a dining room, library, or entry, especially where it can play against warm wood floors and aged brass. Use it on cabinetry or a single accent wall with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, or charcoal-black details for contrast. Natural materials such as oak, leather, linen, and terracotta complement this color’s warm, mineral-like character.

LRV of Golden Chalice
Golden Chalice has an LRV of 26.9% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 26.9%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
